The Octonauts are a team of adventurers who explore the
world’s oceans, rescue aquatic creatures and protect their habitats – from the
bustling eco-system along the Amazon River to
the deepest depths of the Mariana Trench. Deploying a set of aquatic vehicles,
Captain Barnacles, daredevil ex-pirate, Kwazii, medic Peso and the rest of the
crew embark on missions around the globe before returning safely to their home
base, the Octopod. On this exciting DVD, join the Octonauts as they
journey to a colorful coral reef to rescue the creatures that live there! Come
along with Dashi as she saves a pair of surfing snails. And when poisonous sea
snakes get stranded on a beach, Peso must figure out a way to get them back
into the ocean. Enjoy these adventures and more with the Octonauts! KIDS FIRST!
Film Critic Katherine S. comments, “I really like the DVD Octonauts:
Reef Rescue, because we experience a new adventure with each episode. The animation is simple and has a rainbow of
splashy colors.” Lukas L. adds, “The character animations are very simple and that
works for me. Also, they have the most
adorable little personalities and vegetable helpers.” Nathalia J. wraps it up
with, “This show promotes positive social behavior by
presenting kind actions through rescuing others. It promotes team work, working
together and solving problems on an ocean adventure.” See their full reviews

I really
like the DVD Octonauts: Reef Rescue,
because we experience a new adventure with each episode. The animation is simple and has a rainbow of
splashy colors. The music is also very
playful, supporting the kaleidoscope of action in each different rescue
mission.

Octonauts: Reef Rescue has a lot of lively characters, led
by Captain Barnacles, who is a bear. His
crew also includes a number of other animals including a penguin, an ex-pirate
kitten and a sea otter. The most creative
characters are vegimals – yes, part vegetable, part animal. And, each rescue ends swimmingly! (ha ha) The
DVD includes eight episodes, each a different adventure. It is an amazing place to learn a lot about
different sea creatures including a convict fish, very cute baby sea turtles, a
tiger shark, poisonous yellow-bellied sea snakes and my favorite – surfing
snails. I had no idea snails could surf
on bubbles.

There are
so many positive messages throughout this DVD.
My favorite is the importance of team work. The episodes also show how to protect the sea
habitat and how much hard work and fun it is to rescue sea life.

Octonauts Reef Rescue is very kid-friendly. It promotes
positive social behavior, teamwork and kindness to one another and animals. I
give this DVD 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 through 8. Adults
will also enjoy this as they watch it with their kids and will probably learn
something new. This DVD is available now, so look for it. I recommend it.

I surprisingly
really enjoyed watching the loveable Octonauts: Reef Rescue. The
character animations are very simple and that works for me. Also, they have the most adorable little
personalities and vegetable helpers.

The stories
on this DVD are about a polar bear, cat, a penguin and their friends that
explore, rescue and protect underwater sea creatures and their habitats. In
these episodes, we learn about baby sea turtles, sunfish, tiger sharks and
more. There is always a conflict in every episode and they manage to come up
with the cleverest ways to save the day.

The series
stars voice-talent actors Ross Breen, Teresa Gallagher and Simon Greenall and
is produced by Adam Idelson. I really
like the animation and give props to the animator Willian Muir. He keeps it
very simple so that all ages can enjoy watching it. It is not just the main
characters that I enjoyed. Oh, no no no, I really enjoyed the animated sea
creatures as well. A lot of these sea creatures have very hard textures to
mimic, so they make it through very nicely, plus we get a little sneak peak of
the actual animals themselves at the end and that’s pretty cool.

This is the
kind of where they make learning fun, which they succeed at. There is not really a moral, but I it
definitely promotes a love of ocean life. This show is great at teaching kids about
marine life and their habitat. When I was younger, I was obsessed with animals
of all sorts and I adored this show. Watching it again reminds me why I loved
it so much! There are not a lot of other
shows that are dedicated to teaching kids about ocean life, so that’s a plus.

I give this
DVD 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 4 to 9. The
DVD is available now, so look for it.

Octonauts: Reef Rescue By Nathalia J. KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, age 10

Are
you ready to dive into adventure with your favorite underwater explores? This
90 minute, eight-episode, action-packed, powerful, thrilling and stimulating
DVD is loaded with excitement in every episode. You get to join the Octonauts
as they go on adventures through the glamorous, lovely, attractive and stunning
reef to rescue creatures in need of help.

The
Octonauts are a team of adventurers that explore the world’s oceans and protect
the creatures and habitats therein. You get to watch the Octonauts save a pair
of surfing snails through a rutted wave in the tide and save baby turtles from
an enormous wave and explore the lives of sunfish, yellow belly sea snakes and
colorful fish.

The lead
characters are Ross Breen (Captain Barnacles), Teresa Gallagher (Dashi), Simon
Greenall (Captain Barnacles) and produced by Adam Idelson.

My
favorite episode is the most adventurous and informational Episode 7, because
it shares multiple facts about the biggest fish in the ocean, sunfish. Fun fact: When sunfish get the case of the
itchies, smart fish masticate the itches off the sunfish which stay in the
sunfish’s skin.

This show
promotes positive social behavior by presenting kind actions through rescuing
others. It promotes team work, working together and solving problems on an
ocean adventure. Sounds like fun, huh?! This DVD is a great way for kids to
learn about reefs and so much more. Each episode is filled with beautifully
colored stories that will keep you engaged.

I
give this 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 11. This DVD is now
available now so look for it!
